An Old man shouldn’t be able to marry a thirteen year old girl because of consent and sexual understanding issues. There’s scientific evidence that suggest that 13 yr olds may not be mature enough to engage in romantic relationships and or sexual relationships, but even more so when it comes to engaging in this behavior with adults. If pedophilia is illegal based on evidence that it is abusive, then why would pedophiliac marriage be legal?
As far as polygamy goes, I’m not really against it. I understand that the state would be against, not for religious reasons like people think, but because of the difficulties defining benefits for each partner and so forth.
So basically marriage is an institution b/w 2 unrelated consenting adults, or teens who have parental consent. If heterosexuals are allowed to engage in this, then what are the logical reasons for not allowing 2 unrelated consenting adults or teens of the same sex (with parental consent for the latter) to engage in it? That is what I hope the plaintiff’s are asking in court. So far the defense is doing nothing more then gasping at straws. So we just might win this time, if this judge has a real sense of justice. We can only hope.

I don’t believe the plaintiffs will be successful. As much as they want to make it a civil rights issue, I don’t see that they have the evidence to support it. Basically, it sounds like their argument is that that if two people love each other that they should be able to get married. However, in the eyes of the state, they already stop people under certain conditions from getting married no matter how much they love each other. For example, some old man can’t marry a 13 year old girl even if she loves him. The state also doesn’t allow polygamy no matter how much they love each other. They don’t allow brothers and sisters to get married to each other. In addition, the defendants are going to argue that gays and lesbians have the same right to marry that straight people do and it’s true. They can marry one person of legal age of the opposite gender. I imagine it’s going to be heartbreaking for many gay and lesbian couples who deeply love each other but I just don’t see that the argument of the plaintiffs is strong enough to overturn the existing law.
